Shout out to Brian from Pure Milford (our bus driver and tour guide) for making the return journey a smooth and memorable one. With good weather we managed to make a few stops for breaks and photos along the way. The cruise was spectacular! Since we took the trip in early winter (June), the boat wasn't too crowded. The snowcapped mountains made for majestic views. We were lucky to spot bottleneck dolphins on the way which were a rare treat. Great value for money compared to similar tours by other companies we researched online. Absolutely recommend!

Amazing experience, one of our favorite from the trip so far. We had perfect weather for the flight and boat trip and were able to see fur seals, penguins and get up close to the waterfalls.

We really enjoyed this plane and boat package at Milford Sound. The pilot was very friendly, guided us well, and took the time to speak not too quickly. He explained the landscapes we were flying over, which we were not familiar with. We recommend this activity. It would be interesting to offer a package that allows us to stay the day at Milford Sound, such as arriving in the morning and leaving in the evening, thus allowing, in addition to the cruise, to walk around Milford Sound. ------------------------------------------------- Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce package avion et bateau à Milford Sound. Le pilote a été très sympathique, nous a bien guider et a pris le temps de parler pas trop rapidement. Il nous a bien expliqué les paysages que nous survolions et que nous ne connaissions pas. Nous recommandons cette activité. Il serait intéressant de proposer un package qui nous permette de rester la journée à Milford Sound, comme par exemple arriver le matin et partir le soir, permettant ainsi, en plus de la croisière de se promener à Milford Sound.

Absolutely wonderful! It was so nice to be a smaller group for this adventure. The little van was really confortable for the trip. Our guide Collin was awesome. His explanations on the culture and the region made the 5 hours to get there fly by and the stops were great to relax and enjoy fjordland park. 100% recommended.
